In Memory of a Sunset

We remember

By: Ellen Reter, MD

 

~ We Remember ~

 

As daylight fades,

lives enriched by its historic splendor hold vigil for their dimming companion,

environment prepared by helping hands

to ground them and their sinking Star.

 

~ We Remember ~

 

Relations cherish

moments of connection as rays of bright clarity pierce twilight’s fog,

warming the hearts of those who gathered

to accompany the conclusion of the Day.

 

~ We Remember ~

 

The Sun departs,

settling comfortably beyond the horizon,

leaving behind a dark sky sparkling with countless remote lights

no less beautiful for being visions of brilliance now past.
